Rubric


Introduction = 4 / 5 pts.

5 - Intro provides an overview of the upcoming analysis, including what school/district/community is being analyzed, what aspects are being analyzed, and who the report is intended to inform.
4 - Intro names the school/district/community and previews the scope of the report, but does not describe who the report is intended to inform.
3 - Intro names the school/district/community but not much else.
2 - Intro fails to name the school, district, and community.
0 - No introduction section is apparent.
Constructive comments about report's introduction:
I think you may have made an error in your introduction with the population of Chariho...you said it was 12,00. Highlighted all the main points in introduction, set the reader up for the rest of the paper. The topics: School, District, and Community i don't feel are clearly explained though. Try and stay away from bullets, form more sentences out of that section



Organization = 0/ 5 pts.

5 - Report includes an Introduction, a Conclusion, and sections for the School, District, and Community. Within each section, paragraphs logically group the information presented.
4 - Report includes all of the sections mentioned previously, but does not break down information into paragraphs within each section.
3 - Report is missing one of the sections.
2 - Report is missing more than one section.
0 - Report does not include any sections.
Strengths and constructive comments about report's organization:
Everything is grouped together, try and separate each section into your School, District, and Community instead of one large paragraph for it all. too much to try and read all at once, just break it up more.

2 - Most of the report's information is not cited, or APA style was not used.
0 - Report does not include a Reference section.
Strengths and constructive comments about report's organization:
No reference section...you sited a few sources throughout the paper, just put them in an APA style at the bottom under Reference, try and use more then just the Chariho.k12 website also. Need more outside opinions or use graphs from the information that works site.

5 - Conclusion reviews analysis of school, district and community and describes why findings should be important to reader.
4 - Conclusion reviews analysis of school, district and community.

0 - No conclusion section is apparent.
Strengths and constructive comments about conclusion:
If you had a conclusion it wasn't obvious, try and wrap everything up in your conclusion like in your introduction. Let the reader know why Chariho may or may not be a good choice to work or send a child. use all your information that you put in as guidance.


Creativity = 4/ 5 pts.

5 - Report is written in an engaging style.
4 - Report has some interesting sections.
3 - Report generally reports information without seemingly without purpose.
Strengths and constructive comments about presentation:
report is interesting, and has good points, just needs to be more defined in each section by breaking it up and spacing out each section. Use the community, district, school analysis, and conclusion sections



Thoroughness = 6/10 pts

5 - Report includes at least ten different facts in each section (school, community, district) and

compares each figure with another relevant figure (e.g. state or national average) and

states whether or not the school is meeting NCLB standards.
4 - Report includes at least eight different facts in each section and

compares most figures with relevant values and

states whether or not the school is meeting NCLB standards.
3 - Report includes at least six different facts in each section and

compares some of the figures to other relevant figures
2 - Report includes at least four different facts in each section and

compares some of the figures to other relevant figures.
0 - Report includes less than four different facts for any section or

fails to compare any figures with other relevant figures.
Strengths and constructive comments about information contained in report:
Plenty of facts, but not enough for each different section. not to sure if you compared the school with the national or state averages or even if the school is meeting the NCLB standards. If it is in there try and make it a new paragraph so its easier to read. With one huge paragraph it makes it much harder for someone to read and pick out certain facts or points that they may be looking for. Overall good start.
